More than 2.9 lakh doctors are observing a 12-hour nationwide strike in protest against the Bill, which seeks to allow those practicing alternative and traditional medicine to practice allopathy after completing a "bridge course".

"The IMA strongly opposes this Bill and has no option but to take the issues to our patients and the people".

While doctors in government and medical college hospitals boycotted out-patient services for one hour in the morning, the strike was being observed from 6 AM to 6 PM in private hospitals. "The IMA headquarters declares closure of all routine services for 12 hours (6am to 6pm) from tomorrow", IMA national president Dr R. Wankhedkar said.

Doctors will observe January 2 as "black day" to protest against the National Medical Commission (NMC) Bill.
